Gaofu’s urban renewal project in Shanghai harmonizes historical preservation with modern design, nestled near cultural heritage areas and Yanzhong Greenland. The 150m supertall structure and mixed-use development integrate Shikumen-style elements (rounded corners, chamfered edges, and arched motifs) evoking classic Shanghai architecture while embracing sustainable urbanism. The layout prioritizes natural light and views: south/east facades maximize solar exposure and park vistas, while a north-elevated ground floor ensures safe access and streetfront cohesion.
Shanghai Gaofu Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., established in December 2001 with a registered capital of RMB 1.04 billion, specializes in urban renewal and high-end residential development. Its flagship project "Gaofuli" is located in the Huangpu District's Hengfu Fenggu Conservation Area, covering 37,000㎡ and featuring a 150-meter supertall residential building, historic Shikumen-style villas, and supporting public facilities. In November 2023, the company acquired adjacent land for RMB 21.95 billion, aiming to create a "high-low mix" product with a total value exceeding RMB 20 billion while preserving all historical architecture. The company's business scope includes real estate development, construction materials, and steel sales, holding a provisional qualification certificate for real estate development . Through partnerships with Vanke, it has transitioned into a composite developer integrating historical preservation with modern living needs, with "Gaofuli" becoming a benchmark case for urban renewal in Shanghai's central district.
